So Anthea Turner has felt the wrath of pretty much everyone for her recent Tweet. Very silly of her, being someone in the public eye.

I felt she was trying to make a valid point but failed terribly with that offensive cartoon. And what did she mean with the caption "Go for it"?

Yes, exactly Mrsbobdylan. Plus the government now won't have any spare money due to bailing out businesses + restaurants + firms with the furlough scheme up and down the country due to covid19. As I read this morning that women now may not get their state pension until the age of 67. Know though that this is another totally different issue.

She is a bit of a twit. So I couldn't take her too seriously after all that Grant Bovey fiasco.

So where were all the morbidly obese people in the 70s and 80s?

Off their heads on valium.

I think Anthea might come to regret sticking her head above the parapet. The tabloids are targeting her in as much they have snapped her breaking lockdown by holding a slumber party - she had some friends around and two women (one carrying a massage table) were seen going into her flat. One of the attendees said it was a business meeting Hmm
